Mixed E grade was the shortest race of the day.
The bunch stayed together for the first three laps with first-time racer Sharlize Shelley good enough to take the win.

Kael Mccutcheon adapted best to the changed conditions to take the win, with Ryley Collett finishing close behind and Craig Wilson third.
Prior to catching D grade on the final corner, Greg Manning attacked, Josh Howe followed, and the pair got away from the pack.

The race was won by Lance Portman, with Phil Deisel placing second and Owen Henderson third.
